After the terrible rhetoric of the 2016 presidential campaign, and with the possibility of some really exclusionary and divisive words and actions over the next four years, I think it appropriate that all Americans stop and remember that this country is, in fact, a country of immigrants--that, the Founding Fathers were immigrants or sons of immigrants--and that it is this diversity that makes us great. We don't need to make America great again, we have to ensure that it remains the great nation that it was intended to be.
A discussion of ideas, thoughts, philosophies and life in general.

We don't need to make America great again, we have to ensure that it remains the great nation that it was intended to be.
